How conservative the Japanese people really is? And the government?

They don’t have the so-called “couple culture” seen in many Western countries.

Moreover, buff guys are often avoided for their narcissism.

How do you see these below?

How do you handle your mother-in-law after you heard her talking badly about you in the next room?

I’ve heard it’s always the male side that is expected to take a move in some countries. It’s not the case in Japan.

This is a very vague question. But considering the asker’s comment on Mr. Nakajima’s answer, your interest seems to be in sex-related matters (I don’t think it’s the only indicator of conservative/ progressive, though).

I sometimes feel people from the West are obsessed with those “gender” and “sex” things too much. Let’s think about something else sometimes. It’s unhealthy.

What is the difference between "eher" and " lieber" in German? Are the two synonyms? If yes, then which one is the most used?

They don’t have the value that “guys must be macho.”

It’s very common for a girl/ woman to ask a boy/ man to be her boyfriend.

They don’t tease or beat up cross-dressed people on the road.

Why do narcissists keep calling on the phone after years of separation?

They don’t bring around their mates everywhere, which means they don’t worry about being single, gay, or whatever because no one cares about whom others are having/ not having sex with.

Yaoi

In the old era, gay relationships were very common and were even praised among the privileged social classes, such as Samurai and monks.

Joe Biden is not the best president we had. That would be John F. Kennedy. How is voting for Donald Trump any worse than voting for Joe Biden?

Visual-kei

We don’t instantly tie it with sex when a father and his very young daughter are taking a bath together.

They were very similar to the bromance of today but accompanied by sexual intercourse.

Do you think the number of sissies is on the rise?

“None of my business” is the common attitude.
